The development of Chinese characters

Writing is an important part of language. The way a written language developed can tell us just as much about a culture as the history of a spoken language. Many Chinese characters tell very interesting stories.

The Chinese language differs¡¡ 46¡¡ many western languages in ¡¡47 ¡¡it uses characters which have meanings and can stand alone as words. Chinese people invented numerous¡¡ 48 ¡¡to represent ideas, objects or actions. Chinese characters are often formed by ¡¡49 ¡¡¡¡different characters. The history of Chinese words can be seen by looking at how their characters developed.

There is a legend that ¡¡50¡¡ that a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing thousands of years ago by seeing the footprints ¡¡51¡¡ by birds and animals in the snow while he was hunting one winter day. An idea came to his mind that different shapes or pictures¡¡ 52 ¡¡¡¡be used to represent different objects, which were just the first Chinese characters. The first real Chinese characters, either simplified or made more ¡¡53¡¡ ¡¡over time, were pictographs at first. However, they have developed from drawings into standard forms. ¡¡54¡¡ ¡¡is known to all is that not all characters are used to describe objects only. ¡¡55¡¡ , some of them are used to express ideas or actions by combining two elements together, for example, ¡°rest¡± ¡°prisoner¡± and so on..

{007}People developed picotphonetic characters by combining two parts of a character, one indicating meaning and ¡¡56 ¡¡showing sound. In the 1950¡¯s, simplified Chinese characters were introduced by the Chinese government, now ¡¡57¡¡ ¡¡used in mainland China.
